SwiftUI TextEditor undo button
I'm using SwiftUI's TextEditor. I'd like to include an undo button in my UI that operates on the TextEditor. I don't see a way to hook this up. You can get the UndoManager from the environment, but this is not the undo manager the TextEditor is using. I know that UITextView uses an undocumented UndoManager (_UITextUndoManager) and I've accessed that before when using a UIViewRepresentable wrapper around UITextView. I'd like to achieve the same with TextEditor.

NSTextLists not rendered when NSTextContentStorageDelegate textContentStorage (_:, textParagraphWith:) is implemented
I have a UITextView that contains paragraphs with text bullet lists (via NSTextList). I also implement NSTextContentStorageDelegate.textContentStorage(_:, textParagraphWith:) in order to apply some custom attributes to the text without affecting the underlying attributed text. My implementation returns a new NSParagraph that modifies the foreground color of the text. I based this on the example in the WWDC 21 session "Meet Text Kit 2". UITextView stops rendering the bullets when I implement the delegate function and return a custom paragraph. Why? func textContentStorage(_ textContentStorage: NSTextContentStorage, textParagraphWith range: NSRange) -> NSTextParagraph? { guard let originalText = textContentStorage.textStorage?.attributedSubstring(from: range) else { return nil } let updatedText = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: originalText) updatedText.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: UIColor.green, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: updatedText.length)) let paragraph = NSTextParagraph(attributedString: updatedText) // Verify that the text still contains NSTextList if let paragraphStyle = paragraph.attributedString.attribute(.paragraphStyle, at: 0, effectiveRange: nil) as? NSParagraphStyle { assert(!paragraphStyle.textLists.isEmpty) } else { assertionFailure("Paragraph has lost its text lists") } return paragraph }
